This particular chemical now in question is acrylamide, which is created when the coffee beans are roasted and stays in the coffee in what is considered a high amount after being brewed. Acrylamide was actually added to the carcinogen list back in , and there have already been previous lawsuits over it; first over fries in fast food restaurants in , and again in over bagged potato chips.
It is also found in products like caulking, food packaging, and even in some adhesives. Recently there was some research of acrylamide on rats where they gave them the chemical in their drinking water. The results showed evidence that exposure to the acrylamide increases your risk of kidney damage, hepatocellular insufficiency, and chronic liver disease.
The most interesting point is that other research studies have actually shown evidence that drinking coffee actually decreases your risk of liver cancer and disease!

Curious as to how bad the Bux's buzz-laden drinks could really be? You may be surprised which of your favorites made it onto our list. When it came to ranking the Starbucks drinks, we looked for items low in sugar, low in saturated fats, and not too high in calories. Drinks were deducted points when too much sugar was found in any form, whether the flavoring came from natural or artificial flavorings.
Our jaws dropped when we saw the alarming amounts of sugar pumped into these averagely sized drinks. Here are the worst Starbucks drinks, ranked from bad to absolute worst.
Tea can be great for you, especially chai, which is known to fight inflammation, stress, and weight gain. But when it's following after milk and sugar, the herbal leaves become one of the less prominent ingredients, and the benefits disintegrate. This drink has the sugar equivalent of 42 Twizzlers cherry bites! To ease your sweet tooth, go for a treat that's worth it rather than one that has as much sugar as nearly 11 donut holes!
Perhaps try an calorie Chocolate Fudge Yasso Pop. Made with Greek yogurt, nearly a third of the sugar of this drink, and nice to your digestive tract, this guilt-free pop won't even feel like a splurge.
Sugar, spice, and everything not so nice. By drinking this drink, you're maxing out your days recommended daily intake of added sugars, and that's if you're eating 2, calories a day.
Trying to cut back? This drink puts you in major diet debt. When you see "white chocolate," think white refined flour: over-processed and missing all nutritional value. We've said it before, but we'll say it again: White chocolate is a simple no-go. All will give you fewer calories, less sugar, and just as much of a rewarding taste. But if you're really trying to drop a few pounds, there are plenty of weight-loss friendly desserts worth every bite.
